What merchants think

Feedback submitted

Merchants highly recommend this app for boosting sales and enhancing customer service through real-time chat capabilities, including direct product and discount offers. Features like "Quick Replies" and automated responses save time and increase productivity. It integrates smoothly with Shopify for easy management of customer interactions and order updates, and its intuitive interface and reliable mobile version allow for effective on-the-go communication. Support experiences are generally positive.

*Extremely stressful experience. Can’t access any messages although I see them there waiting to be read. The app keeps disappearing and giving me the opportunity to download however it still seems uninstalled. Rubbish!

I am sorry to hear that you've had a stressful experience while using the Inbox app and can appreciate the frustration in not having it work as intended. Nevertheless, we appreciate you reaching out and sharing your feedback with us in your review here.

If you are being asked to install the app again after having already done so, there may be a caching error with the browser you're using. You can try accessing the app via another browser or a private/ Incognito window to see if it works better there. If not, and if you are still unable to access your messages, I would encourage you to contact our support team directly so you can be authenticated on the store and our team can look into these issues for you: https://bit.ly/2AWw5VA. -Victor, Shopify Support

Great for managing customer concerns. Could be integrated a little more seamlessly into the Shopify page

If you haven't added a live chat option this is great...

The Inbox app from Shopify is excellent, it features:
- Quick replies for pre made replies
- Add product links to the chat
- Assign chat to staff
- You can send photos
- There is a dedicated mobile app for ios and andriod.

but it's not perfect: here's a list of features I wish it had:
- Option for Private chat
- Email the chat transcripts
- Video calling options

Also, on occasions it can be a little slow on the notifications. Also sometimes store collaborators get notified of chats... these issue to one side. I really love the live chat though and so far it has added value to our shopify store.

Hey, there! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. I'm glad you're enjoying Inbox overall and feel that it's beneficial for your business. I can definitely understand how useful it would be to be emailed chat transcripts and to have a video calling option - I'll be sure to share that feedback with our developers. In the meantime, you can view conversation details in each customer's profile. All chats should be private by default, however please feel free to reach out to our support team (https://bit.ly/2AWw5VA) if I've misunderstood the request.

Feel free to reach out to us about any notification issues as well, and our team will be happy to take a look. Thank you! - Brie, Shopify Support

This app is great if you have someone to monitor it in real-time to give customers a quick answer to their questions.

This has been excellent for us. We had very few "message" enquiries through third party apps but this one tends to trigger plenty of solid inquiries.

I like how it prods the customers to send a message without being in the way or annoying for them so they won't leave the website.
